South Korea appears to be ahead in the race to supply fighter planes to Malaysia, with Chinese media reporting that the country is poised to sign an export contract for 18 FA-50s for $1 billion “as early as next week.”

The deal for 18 Light Combat Aircraft for Malaysian Air Force has narrowed to two contenders: the Korean FA-50 by the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and the Indian LCA Tejas by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
The competition also included Pakistan’s JF-17, Russia’s MiG-35 and Yak-130, and Turkey’s Hurjet. However, these aircraft are no longer in the race due to multiple factors.
According to Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, the negotiation between Malaysia and South Korea is in its final stage.

This was in line with earlier reports that a senior KAI official purportedly told a Singapore-based media outlet that Malaysia could select KAI’s F-50 over the LCA-Tejas.
“Malaysia is in advanced talks with us. The two countries believe that bilateral cooperation in the defence industry can become a symbol of mutual trust and a robust strategic partnership,” a senior KAI official was quoted as saying by GBP.

The latest revelation represents a significant blow for the Indian Tejas, which was widely regarded as the top contender for this contract. According to reports, India proposed a package deal to establish an MRO facility in Malaysia for its Russian-origin Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet fleet.
R Madhavan, Chairman and Managing Director of HAL, previously said, “It [negotiation] is almost in the final stages. We are the only country offering them the support for their Su-30 aircraft as well, as other than Russia, we are the only ones who can support them to the extent they require for that fleet.”
The open architecture computer systems of the HAL Tejas are constantly advertised as having the ability to integrate both Western and Russian armaments. This was anticipated to be one of the key elements that would help India win this contract. The militaries of India and Malaysia operate both NATO and Russian weapons.
